We aren't talking about history, we are talking TODAY.
Show me the modern day Democrats that are KKK members. I'll wait.

Well, if you want to talk about TODAY, there were at least 2 posts above about the lop-sided interracial rape statistics. Yet, you don't want to talk about that - even though it is today.
Instead, you say that the number of instances of white men raping black women is under-reported by black women because of injustice in the courts. But, black women don't have any problem reporting rapes committed by black men even though they end up in the same courts.
And if the court system is so unfair to black women, why do some black women not have a problem with reporting FALSE rape accusations against white men? The Duke lacrosse players and Tawana Brawley cases come easily to mind.
I mean, if black women really were disinclined to report a REAL rape by a white man because the courts are unjust, what would be the purpose of making a FALSE rape allegation?
There is plenty of blame to go around in the racism game. It is committed by all races. And the overwhelming number of blacks in the US are Democrats.
So, if the racism of the KKK is to be attributed to the GOP, then it is only fair that black racism is laid at the feet of the Democrats.
